        curStory.addParagraph("Some missions call it a whitewash but the Finland Helsinki Mission called it a shotgun.  This was when two missionaries were called to serve together in an area that was new to both of them.  Shotguns didn't happen real often because it's much more effective to have one missionary stay in the area to help the new one learn the people/places.");
        curStory.addParagraph("Well, Elder Alexander and I were shotgunned into the Espoo 2nd ward in late-summer 2002.  Luckily, i had already been a senior companion for about 5 months and he had been senior for even longer.  That meant that even though we'd have the normal difficulties of a shotgun, we wouldn't have the difficulties of having a young companion (even though E. Alexander might argue that point).");
        curStory.addParagraph("The fact that we were both new to Espoo wasn't the only thing that made it difficult to begin work.  We were also reopening the area to missionaries after several months of not having any.  This made some things easier (the ward members were really excited to have missionaries again so they were very nice to us) but it made some things harder (no investigators or even contacts to work with).  Luckily, Elder Alexander and I had both come from the East where there was a reputation of hard-work and focus.  Most of the cities in the Eastern Zone were isolated and so there was little contact between missionary companionships.  This was nice because it meant that there weren't as many opportunities for distraction.  We were both used to just working all the time.  It was weird for both of us to get to the Helsinki area and see missionaries just kind of hanging out when they'd get together.  This was added motivation for us to just get to work.");
        curStory.addParagraph("Unfortunately, our apartment in Espoo was not quite ready for us to move into so we had to live in the office apartment with the assistants for a week and a half.  I really liked the assistants, but it is very difficult to have effective study time when there's so much going on in the apartment.  It was great to finally move into our apartment in Espoo and to dive into the work.  Since we didn't have any investigators, we spent a lot of time finding and trying to get to know the members.  Our hard work paid off and we soon had some good progressing investigators.  It didn't take long before we felt at home and the effects of the shotgun had worn off.  I strongly suggest to any future mission presidents that if you're going to shotgun missionaries into a city, send in two experienced missionaries to get the work started.  Good call President Hoyt!");

        curStory = new Story("Temple Site");
        curStory.addParagraph("On April 2, 2000 the Church announced that a temple was to be built in Finland.  When i arrived in Finland in August of 2001, the Church had found a site for the temple in the city of Espoo and on the car ride home from the airport, the Assistants took us past the temple site so we could see where the House of the Lord would be built.");
        curStory.addParagraph("I didn't see the temple site again until over a year later when i was transferred to Espoo.  Our district meetings were held at a senior couple's apartment near the temple site so after district meetings we would often go park near the site and walk around.  We also had missionaries from different cities come on exchanges often so we would take them to the temple site so they too could enjoy the spirit there.");
        curStory.addParagraph("During the several months that i was in Espoo, i visited the temple site often and i felt a special closeness to it.  Just being on those grounds brought a special feeling and an excitement for the work that would happen in Finland.  I was getting very excited for the groundbreaking which would take place at the end of March 2003.  After 3 years of being announced, work was finally going to begin.");
        curStory.addParagraph("I only had a few months left on my mission and so i was expecting to just finish those last few months in Espoo.  The Mission President had different plans however and he transferred me to Oulu just days before the groundbreaking of the temple.  I was very sad that i wouldn't be there for it, but i wasn't as excited to be there as i was excited for it to happen.  I am so glad that i was able to feel of the spirit of the temple even though the structure had not been built.");
        curStory.addParagraph("On October 22, 2006 the Helsinki Finland Temple was dedicated by President Gordon B. Hinckley and i was lucky enough to be able to attend a satellite broadcast of the dedication in Salt Lake City.  Even though i wasn't in Finland, i felt that same spirit that i had felt those many times as i walked on those sacred grounds.");
